They'll never get caught. They're on a mission from God.

What started as a sketch on the Saturday night live tv show ended up on the big screen. The Blues brothers is a musical action comedy which stars the late John Belushi ( Animal house ) and Dan Aykroyd ( Ghostbusters ) as Jake and Elwood Blues. John Landis ( Coming to America, Thriller ) was the director and he also wrote the movie together with Aykroyd. Together with some of the greatest blues artists like, James Brown, Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles, Belushi and Aykroyd bring a fantastic soundtrack to this movie with some songs like “Everybody needs somebody to love” that are still great for your ears.

Life's greatest adventure is finding your place in the Circle of Life.

One of the all time great Disney animation movies has got to be “The Lion King”. Loosely based on Shakespeare hamlet the cup Simba is made to believe he killed his father and goes in exile. There he meets two of the funniest Disney Characters Timon and Pumbaa that help him grow up. Taking back the responsibility Simba goes home to face his enemy.
Fantastic animation, great voice casting ( Matthew Broderick, James Earl Jones, Nathan Lane, Rowan Atkinson and Jeremy Irons ) and wonderful music by legend Hans Zimmer (Pearl Harbor, Sherlock Holmes, Inception ) makes this a movie that will withstand time and will teach kids about great lessons in life and amaze and amuse young and old.

Are we blessed? Or are we just the edges?

After seeing ‘The Sixth Sense” we all could see that Haley Joel Osment was a great kid actor. The emotions that he can display being just a kid was really amazing. To have him out played by another kid would hardly be possible. Indeed hardly, but it happened in the Hollocaust movie “Edges of the Lord” by Polish director Yurek Bogayevicz. Osment plays a Jewish boy that has to learn about Catholicism so he can stay with catholic peasant farmers to escape the Nazis. But the real star of this movie is the nine year old Liam Hess who plays the catholic son of the family. He slowly takes the part of Jesus in a play and takes all the kids in the neighbourhood in his game the get more serious during the film. All the kids actors put amazing performances in this story wise a bit bleak movie. But solely for Liam Hess his performance this is a movie worth to watch.

I Can't Lie...

After working together in Ace Venture, Director Tom Shadyac ( Bruce Almighty ) and Jim Carrey ( The Mask, Yes man ) joined forces for another comedy movie ‘Liar Liar’. Carrey plays Fletcher Reede, one of the best liars, or lawyers there is. His kid makes a wish on his birthday that his father can not tell any more lies for 1 day and this happens to be the day of one of a very big case. It looks like this role was specifically written for Carrey, because the physical ness of his performance is outstanding. Great cheap laughs, a lot of funny faces and Carrey throwing his body literally on the line and against the wall. At the end of the movie we get a great blooper real with more of Carrey his shenanigans.

Sometimes you have to go halfway around the world to come full circle

After her first full length movie ‘the virgin suicides’ director Sofia Coppola came with another treat with ‘lost in translation’, although not for all movie fans. I have read a lot of reviews where the people found the movie boring and that there was nothing happening in it. I strongly disagree as there was never a moment that I felt bored during this movie. It tells a story about two people, a movie star, fast past his prime, with a big sense of emptiness and a neglected newlywed that meet as strangers in Japan. Bill Murray ( ghostbusters groundhog day ) more known for his comedy roles plays the has been actor with such a feeling and depth, that will amazing his fans. Scarlett Johansson ( Match Point, Iron man 2 )  is perfect as a radiant and mature at only 18 with the need to not be neglected. This unlikely match is the backbone of the movie and shows the bold choices that Coppola makes when she only brings them together after 1 third of the movie. A great slice of life, terrific acting and wonderful views of Tokyo.  

It's All About Love... Actually.

Richard Curtis, writer of series like Black adder and Mr Bean an movies like Notting Hill and Four weddings and a funeral took a second chair as a director with Love Actually. Mainly due to the cast and his great script, his debut directing job is a confincing one. The story follows the lives of some very different people in dealing with their love lives in various loosely and interrelated tales all set in the month before Christmas. A great cast including Bill Nighy, Coling Firth, Keira Knightley, Martin Freeman and Hugh Grant as the Prime Minister bring a heart warming movie about opportunities in love and it really show that love really is all around

Prepare to be blown out of the water

A movie genre which was near to death what very successfully brought back to life by director Gore Verbinski ( Rango, The Ring ). Of course this had much to do with the portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow by Johnny Depp who made a rock star out of a pirate. Based on the Disney park ride, The Pirates of the Caribbean, this adventure grows to a big scale and is made to a movie that everybody will love. Humour, great effects and visuals combined with a nice story and great acting by main cast ( Orlando Bloom, Keira Knightley and Geoffrey Rush ) and support cast ( Jonathan Pryce, Lee Arenburg and Mackenzie Crook ) make this a great movie for young and old.
